Yan Yue finally let out a sigh of relief when she could no longer hear the demonic beast's roar. Opening her eyes, she could no longer see the demonic beast's figure in front of her. However, Yan Yue was careful and waited for a quarter of an hour. After confirming that there was no movement in front of her, she started to walk in that direction.
There was a demonic beast's corpse lying on the ground. It was the one with the sharp horn on its head. It seemed that the winner was the bear-like demonic beast.
Yan Yue looked around. The ground was covered in blood, and there were many eggshell fragments, accompanied by a few strands of fluff. She had seen this kind of fluff on Tuan Tuan's body before. Only newborn little demonic beasts would have this kind of fluff.
Ai!
Even if you risked your life and still couldn't protect your own child, why did you come out to seek death!
Keeping your life for revenge in the future was better than foolishly losing your life like this. What could you gain by blindly trying to be brave? Your enemy is still living freely. Don't tell me you only want to seek comfort in your heart!
Yan Yue sighed. Looking at the big hole in the demonic beast's head, she guessed that the demonic core had been taken away. With a wave of her hand, she threw the corpse into the storage pouch, preparing to leave it for the Tuantuan as a meal.
Walking past the place where the demonic beast was lying, Yan Yue suddenly felt that there was something under her feet.
Looking down, it was just a bunch of grass. However, this grass was too irregular. It didn't look like it originally grew here. Instead, it looked like … it had been spread over.
Could it be … that there was something fishy?
Yan Yue pushed the grass aside. Underneath was some soft soil. However, there was a spot on top that revealed a bit of white. Following the white spot, she pushed aside the soil beside it. A big egg appeared in front of Yan Yue's eyes.
Yan Yue exerted her strength and the entire egg was carried out by Yan Yue. The soil stuck on top of the egg rustled and fell down.
A trace of pity appeared in Yan Yue's eyes. With a thought, the corpse of the demonic beast was released by Yan Yue.
Hugging the egg, Yan Yue slightly bowed to the corpse of the demonic beast as a sign of respect.
With a tap of her hand, the broken eggshell, fur, blood, and the Demonic Beast's corpse were all set ablaze.
Yan Yue took a few steps back and waited for the traces to turn into ashes before Yan Yue set up a rain to extinguish the fire.
Hugging the egg, Yan Yue turned around and walked towards Morin's place. She didn't expect to gain something from this trip. She picked up an egg. Yan Yue examined it. She couldn't see through its level. She could only sense a little bit of its aura. It should be the egg of a demonic beast of the fourth level. Its level wasn't low. It should be known that it was still a demonic beast that hadn't hatched and would continue to grow in the future. Moreover, the egg basically didn't have consciousness. When signing a contract, it wouldn't resist. Therefore, a demonic beast's egg of the same level was much more valuable than a demonic beast's.
Looking back at the direction of the wisps of black smoke, Yan Yue said in her heart, "You should rest assured. Your cub was taken away by me and is still alive. If it still stayed there, it would inevitably die after hatching. I will treat the little life that you risked your life to protect well."
A wisp of black smoke slowly dissipated. Gradually, the black smoke brought by the extinguishing of the fire also dissipated with the wind.
At this time, Yan Yue had already returned to Morin's place with the egg.
Yan Yue single-handedly jumped onto the tree where Morin was. The sound of her stepping on the tree awakened Morin who was cultivating. When he saw that it was His Lord, Morin's nervous heart instantly calmed down.
Yan Yue carefully placed the egg on Morin's legs and said, "Your contract beast. Treat it well." After that, she jumped down from the tree and jumped onto another tree to rest.
Morin held the egg with both hands. He already didn't know what to say to express his feelings at this moment.
Thousands of words finally turned into a soft voice, "Thank you, My Lord!"
He knew that no matter what he said, His Lord wouldn't be too happy. Actions were far better than words.
This time, Yan Yue didn't continue to admire the moon. Instead, she sat down and began to meditate. This time, the spiritual energy wasn't as dense and large as she had imagined. She guessed that it was because she had consumed a lot of spiritual energy during the fight.
The speed of absorption was much faster than before. Sure enough, Marrow Cleansing was very helpful in absorbing spiritual aura.
It was just that after Foundation Establishment, the Marrow Cleansing Pill wouldn't have any effect. It seemed that before Foundation Establishment, she had to find an opportunity to cleanse her marrow again.
Yan Yue roughly calculated. According to this speed, she would be able to absorb the spiritual aura in about ten days. She just didn't know how much her cultivation would increase by at that time.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have despised the disgusting cultivator who was cut in half during the day. She should have taken his as well. It seemed that her cultivation wasn't enough!
After Morin and the egg signed the master and servant contract, the master and servant pair went down the mountain the next day. The purpose of this trip had been achieved, so there was no reason to stay on the mountain.
Along the way, they rode the white lion. Their speed wasn't slow. Occasionally, they would stop to rest or meditate to cultivate. After eating some Fasting Pills, they finally arrived at Guang Ming Town a month later.
Morin's demonic beast egg broke out of its shell a few days after they went down the mountain. It was a small bucket-sized horned beast. Its body only had a few tufts of fur, and its skin was somewhat wrinkled. It really didn't look good.
Perhaps because it was Yan Yue who pulled it out of the soil, it always liked to hug Yan Yue and throw its master, Morin, to the side.
Every time it crawled to Yan Yue's feet, Yan Yue would kick it. The little beast would fly away, and Morin would rush to catch it.
While Yan Yue was meditating, it ran into her arms. Yan Yue lifted it by the back of its neck with one hand and casually threw it away. Morin would rush to catch it again.
This scene had already played out more than ten times this month, but the little guy seemed to be enjoying it. It just liked to lean on Yan Yue. Regarding this, Yan Yue was very regretful. If she knew this, she wouldn't have picked it up. Now that Morin treasured it like a son, she couldn't throw it away even if she wanted to.
The Tuantuan also hated this little beast. It was obviously its master, but this little beast actually kept snatching people away from it. It was really infuriating. Wait until its cultivation recovered, hmph, let's see how it would deal with it.

Before stepping into the city gates of Guang Ming Town, Yan Yue and Morin first changed into a clean white robe outside the city. Only then did they ride the white lion and slowly enter Guang Ming Town.
Compared to Guang Ming Town, Guang Ming Town was really much bigger. There was an endless stream of people coming and going on the streets. It was a bustling scene.
The two white lions didn't sign a contract and couldn't be kept in the contracted pet space. So after entering the town, they could only follow behind Yan Yue and wander around.
Little Grey and Little Silver (Morin gave the two white lions the names) had never left Heyi Mountain. This time, they had embarrassed Yan Yue quite a bit. Seeing the bear drooling at the sight of delicious food really gave her a headache.
If not for Yan Yue standing coldly at the side, they would probably have rushed out to snatch the food.
Demonic beasts were not like humans. They couldn't eat fasting pills. Third level demonic beasts were still a little low in level. They had not yet developed spiritual wisdom and only had some basic demonic beast instincts. But compared to ordinary animals, they were much more advanced. Although they couldn't completely fasting, they didn't need to eat every day.
Eating fasting pills all the time wasn't a problem. Delicious food was a great enjoyment and it wasn't good to throw it away.
Yan Yue raised her head and looked at the big signboard 'Windswept Inn'. Leading one person and three beasts, she stepped in.
A waiter wearing a white apron immediately greeted them. "Fairy, do you have any orders?"
"Eat!"
"Okay!
There's a table by the window here. Please follow me. "After saying that, he led Yan Yue and Li Mu to a table and chairs in the middle of the floor.
After waiting for Yan Yue and Morin to take their seats, order the dishes and pay the spirit stones, the waiter politely asked, "Do you need us to take care of these two white lions?"
"Alright, just give us some meat."
The waiter bowed slightly and led the white lions down.
After the waiter left, Morin stood up and opened the window. Although there were many people on the street outside, the air wasn't dirty at all. Waves of fragrance faintly floated over. This was something that the cities in the mortal world couldn't compare to.
After tidying up the table, he poured tea for his master and poured a cup for himself before sitting down. At this time, Morin finally looked like a subordinate.
Taking a sip of the tea, he placed the teacup on his lap and gently covered it with his hands. Only then did Yan Yue raise her head to admire this inn that had three floors and five floors.
The buildings here were very similar to the buildings in China's ancient times. The eaves were like a flying bird spreading its wings. The pillars were wrapped in ancient vines. The eight streams of clear spring water that flowed down from eight directions were like eight celestial swords. Although the white mist emitted was shallow, it highlighted a kind of hazy beauty.
At a glance, the tables, chairs, trees, and flowers all seemed to have some otherworldly aura.
Although there were only three floors here, with two and a half hugs, the space of five floors wasn't small at all.
At the bottom of the eight corners, there was a small round pool that received the clear spring water that flowed down from above. Every small pool had a small ditch, and the eight ditches of the eight round pools converged into a larger round pool in the center. After the spring water flowed into this large round pool, it disappeared. There wasn't much water, and there wasn't much scenery. There was only a crystal-like water lotus blooming in the middle of the pool. If one didn't look carefully, they would really think that it was a water lotus made of ice and had no life.
No one sat on the first floor. As soon as they entered the door, there were two scenic pavilions that led to the half hugs. No matter which floor it was, the scenery in this building could be seen without a doubt.
There were no lights here. A kind of flower called the Red Moon was placed everywhere upstairs and downstairs. It was a kind of flower that would glow at night. It was bright but not dazzling. Furthermore, it was beautiful and elegant. Many places used this to replace the expensive night pearls for lighting.
Yan Yue looked around and once again stopped at the water lotus. At least in her opinion, this was the most valuable scenery here.
No wonder when she entered the door, she felt calm and refreshed. It turned out that this water lotus had been constantly releasing spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in this entire building was two times richer than outside.
It caused all of her fatigue to immediately dissipate. Sure enough, those who were able to stay in this city weren't simple characters.
Retracting her gaze, Yan Yue looked at the tea that was emitting wisps of white steam. She picked it up and took a sip. After carefully tasting it, she discovered that even this ordinary tea had spiritual energy in it.
He let out an imperceptible sigh. Were all Cultivators this rich?
She wondered what the mortal world was like here. When she had time, she would definitely go and take a look.
"Please enjoy your meal."
By the time Yan Yue came back to her senses, the dishes had already been served. The color, fragrance, taste, and shape were all present. Just looking at it made one's mouth water.
Compared to the tasteless fasting pills, this kind of delicious food indeed had the capital to make people reluctant to part with it.
Half of the dishes on the table were eaten by Morin's little beast Momo. Yan Yue and Morin didn't eat too much. Cultivators should abstain from eating. Although these dishes were delicious, they could only be tasted. They couldn't be considered a full meal. If impurities accumulated in the body, it would also be detrimental to cultivation.
But to say that she would never touch food, Yan Yue also couldn't do it. Originally, sleeping and eating were her two favorite things. Although she couldn't eat every day like before, it was still necessary to taste one or two dishes every once in a while.
She had yet to build her foundation, so she couldn't really abstain from eating. Occasionally eating food was still possible.
